Etymology & Components

The Chinese word 日报 (rìbào) for "daily newspaper" is a compound of two characters: 日 (rì), meaning "sun" or "day", and 报 (bào), meaning "to report" or "to announce". The character 日 is often used in Chinese to indicate a daily or regular occurrence, while the character 报 is used to convey the idea of news or information. Together, the two characters 日报 form a compound that literally means "daily report" or "daily news", which is an appropriate name for a newspaper that provides daily updates on current events and news.
